Board approves courthouse freight-elevator replacement plans, sets March 24 public hearing
Summary
Woodbury County approved plans and specifications for a freight-elevator replacement in the historic courthouse and set a public hearing for March 24 at 4:40 PM; the architect said the project is a complete upgrade handled with historic sensitivity.
Kenny Schmitz, billing services director, presented plans and specifications for replacing the courthouse freight elevator and asked the board to approve contract documents. "So that's what those are the planned specifications in form of contract for replacement of the courthouse freight elevator," Schmitz said, explaining staff were seeking approval to advertise and contract for the work.
Architect Terry Glade, representing CMBA Architects, told the board the building is historic and the project is being treated carefully: "It's a historic building... it's a complete upgrade. Nothing we didn't expect." The board approved the plans and specifications and also set a public hearing for March 24 at 4:40 PM at the courthouse for public input; motions passed unanimously (4-0).
Board members discussed the historic sensitivity of the work and thanked staff and the architect for preparing the documents; staff were directed to publish the required public notice and proceed with procurement steps leading to the hearing.
